Donald Trump completed an extraordinary political resurrection early Wednesday morning when he sealed the win in the 2024 Presidential election.
Elected the 47th president of the United States, Trump becomes the first convicted criminal to win the White House. At 78, he is also the oldest person ever elected to the office and the second to win nonconsecutive terms after Grover Cleveland.
Here’s how the media is covering the win. “Don Deal,” the New York Post’s digital headline read early this morning. The Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid endorsed Trump back in October, describing the former real estate investor as “the clear choice for a better future.” The newspaper’s morning print edition features a smiling Trump with the headline “He’s Don It Again!” along with the tagline “Trump Pulls Of Comeback For The Ages With Election Win.” “America wants Trump — no ifs or buts,” the Financial Times titled an early reaction piece while Vanity Fair, using a striking digital front cover posted on X in the early hours, collated a damning resume of Trump’s criminal and legal woes. “34 felony counts, 1 conviction, 2 cases pending, 2 impeachments, 6 bankruptcies, 4 more years” is scrawled onto the side of the cover alongside a mean-mugging image of Trump with the tagline: The 47th American President.
